Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
  • ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

  • Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

  • ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

  • As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

Quick Glance: MLAs Nitesh Rane, Geeta Jain Booked for 'Hate' Speeches After Mira Road Clashes: Police Update Bombay HC
  • The Maharashtra government informed the Bombay High Court that FIRs had been filed due to speeches made by MLAs Nitesh Rane and Geeta Jain during and after communal clashes in Mira Road.

  • Police commissioners decided to initiate criminal investigations against the leaders, resulting in multiple FIRs being registered for incitement to riots and promoting enmity between groups.

  • Petitioners argued that the politicians' speeches clearly constituted hate speech offenses, pushing for FIR registration under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including defiling places of worship and causing public unrest.

  • Police registered several complaints related to the violence in Mira Road in January, filing FIRs against the politicians in different areas. The hearing is adjourned to June 19.

Elon Musk defies Brazil order to block X accounts
Quick Glance: Elon Musk and the Support of Far-Right in Brazil
  • A court in Brazil is planning an investigation against X owner Elon Musk for alleged obstruction of justice, following Musk's reactivation of accounts belonging to far-right individuals that were flagged by the Brazilian government for removal.

  • Under Musk's leadership, X has transformed into a sanctuary for the far right and dissemination of misinformation, resulting in an escalation of hate speech on the platform.

  • Experts caution that Musk is establishing a dangerous precedent by protecting and promoting the far right on his platform, regardless of local regulations or public opinion.

  • Despite Musk's claims of advocating for free speech, the implementation of these principles on the platform has been inconsistent under his direction, especially concerning government requests to deactivate accounts.
